Can you get better then the orange box?

So yeah I just finished playing through episode 1 and 2 and portal and gad damn i want more!!!! I dont think I have been that satisfied with a game purchase in a very very long time.. maybe gta:vice city was the last?? Does anyone else share this view with me? Cant wait for episode 3 and the games following that!


Cake anyone?

I will agree with you there, I got it on Christmas day and have clocked over 150 hours of TF2 already. :blink: lol

It's an excellent game with great value for money. I was kind of glad to finish HL2 as I thought it went on for too long but Episode 1 and 2 were enthralling.

yeah i had already finished HL2 before i got the orange box so i would agree with you there. HL2 is a tad long. Having said that... so it HL1 i dont think i have properly finished that before. But im not complaining, most games these days are too damn short!

orange box is simply superb value for the money. tf 2 is pretty awesome and the new goldrush map with the mine cart will be awesome when valve finally release it.

I didn't really care that HL2 was pretty long, I don't like games that are pretty short that I can finish within one sitting in an evening. Half Life 2 took me about a good week maybe two to finish in hour long sittings at University and I liked that, it was something to look forward to and because on a technical gameplay level it was perfect, I know I'd never get bored.

I still replay it once every other month, the replay value of it is that good. When Episode 3 comes out, I'm going to play HL2, EP1 & 2 all over again.

I think after long last, Consoles have that killer first person shooter to actually rave about.

Orange box rocks!!!

The sad thing is, games like Half life are slowly starting to dissapear. Basically because game developers would be stupid not to make a multi platform game. This means that real good quality FPS are not quite as good as hey could be. Take COD4 for example. If it was PC only you could be sure that the single player would have been longer and the multiplayer updates would come a lot quicker.

However I guess this didnt work with Crysis, I was extreamly dissapointed with that game. AHHH I just want the PC days back. maybe in a couple of years when the consoles get a bit old.
